Disney Day 1: Hollywood Studios + Fantasmic

December 8, 2012August 3, 2015

Our days in Disney start at the crack of dawn, with the littles tugging us out of bed at first light.  And our first park of the trip was Hollywood Studios!! We bee-lined for Pixar Place to pick up Toy Story Mania fast passes and our return time wasn’t until around 3p.m.!  After that, we… Read More

The Road to Disney {2012 Edition}

December 7, 2012July 28, 2015

Since I already have a gazillion Disney themed things hanging about the house, for this year’s busy buckets I really just had to shop the playroom.  If you recall from last year, these will be waiting in the car when the littles pile in for our road trip down South. Here’s the deets: Beach bucket… Read More

Disney’s Enchanted Call + Custom Park Maps

December 6, 2012July 28, 2015

After their initial disbelief, the littles were absolutely ecstatic to receive a call from Mickey himself wishing them well on their trip!  There are a number of free call services, but the only one I could find that would work in Georgia was Disney’s Enchanted Call.  This one costs $2.49 per call and was well… Read More

Disney Breakfast Bags

December 5, 2012July 28, 2015

This year we aren’t on the Disney Dining Plan so we only have a few reservations for a few special things.  The majority of the time we’ll be eating on our own, which is just fine by me.  Like last year, I’m packing cereal bars, poptarts, juice boxes and milk boxes so that the littles… Read More

Messages from Mickey {2012 Edition}

December 4, 2012July 28, 2015

One of our favorite magical memories from last year’s trip was Messages from Mickey.  We saved a bundle of money on souvenirs as whenever we passed a store we just reminded the littles that Mickey would be picking out a treat especially for them each day!    Like last year, the littles will receive a… Read More

Disney Memory Books {2012 Edition}

December 3, 2012July 28, 2015

I’d venture to say that one of the (many) highlights of the littles’ trip to Disney last year was meeting their favorite characters and loading up their memory books with signatures.  After our trip, they helped me choose pictures for the books, and we pasted in our Messages from Mickey and things like our Key… Read More

Oh Mickey, You’re So Fine {2012 Edition}

December 2, 2012February 22, 2016

Y’all know how I adore a good themed outfit?  Well, Mother was a complete doll to sew up a whole week’s worth for our impending Disney World trip!!  I used fabrics left over from last year, drew up a whole bunch of ideas and Mother outdid herself (as usual) sewing them up. My jaw dropped… Read More

I was and avid reader and dreamer as a little girl I was and avid reader and dreamer as a little girl, and opening this felt like discovering a treasure chest. Honestly, it radiated just as much happiness and joy at 50. ❤️

My friend Katie recently launched @itsyourstorygifts, creating reading gift sets centered around a surprise chapter book and absolutely stuffed with bookish goodies. She sent me one of her Signature Book Boxes to experience for myself, and as you can see… it just kept going.

Everything was prepared with so much care and thought. I immediately pictured the child who would absolutely light up opening one of these, whether it arrived for a birthday, to celebrate something special, during a hard season or simply to say, “I’m thinking of you.”

I’m sharing much more about Katie, her new business and what’s inside the box on the blog today.

And stay tuned. We have something fun coming later this week!

Mahjong, but make it cards. @playhootenanny gifte Mahjong, but make it cards.

@playhootenanny gifted me their Mahjong Playing Cards, and Honey and I took them along on our recent weekend away. They’re beautiful, easy to pack and such a fun way to play when traveling with an entire mahjong setup isn’t exactly practical.

We picked it up surprisingly quickly, and these have officially earned a spot in my travel bag.

I shared more on the blog today, including a link to the set on Amazon!

This trip was never really about New York. It was This trip was never really about New York.

It was about watching two incredible kids chase big dreams, cheering them on from the front row, and soaking up every minute together.

The city was amazing… but these memories mean even more. 🤍🗽

To JB and Cee: we couldn’t be more proud. Enjoy summer in the city!
